Lake Eyre Kati Thanda T he Lake Eyre Basin is one of the biggest internal drainage systems in the world and overlies the Great Artesian Basin, a resevoir of sub-artesian water. Lake Eyre Kati Thanda is the lowest point in Australia, at approximately 15 m below sea level, and on the rare occasions that it fills, the largest lake in Australia. When Lake Eyre floods, it becomes the breeding ground for thousands of pelicans and other water birds. Three river systems flow into the lake – the Diamantina, the Georgina and Coopers Creek. Lake Eyre South can be seen from the Track. Mound Springs occur around the fringe of the basin where artesian water forces its way to the surface. The lake was named in honour of Edward John Eyre, the first European to see it, in 1840. The lake’s official name was changed in December 2012 to combine the name “Lake Eyre” with “Kati Thanda” the indigenous name. Native title over the lake and surrounding region is held by the Arabana people. Lake Eyre Dragon LAND SPEED RECORD 648.73 KMH On 17 July 1964, at his second attempt Donald Campbell set the land speed record on the dry salt pan of Lake Eyre in his famous Bluebird car. He took advantage of a break in the weather and made two courageous runs along the shortened and still damp track, posting a new LSR of 403.10 mph (648.73 km/h). Campbell was bitterly disappointed with the record as the vehicle had been designed for much higher speeds. CN7 covered the final third of the measured mile at an average of 429 mph (690 km/h), peaking as it left the measured distance at over 440 mph (710 km/h). He resented that it had all been so difficult. ‘We’ve made it – we got the bastard at last,’ was his reaction to the success. Campbell’s 403.1 mph represented the official Land Speed Record. 82 Australia’s Explorers’ Way
